You’d think the greatest softball area in the country would have a few good pitching coaches. Could probably get one of the pitchers from OSU or OU. While not all players are great coaches, 99% of the time they’re going to get more out of it than a lesson with dear old Dad.
What I've found is that everyone around here wants to teach something that gets quick results at the 10u level, so that other parents will ask who their coach is- I'm obviously not a pitching guru but what I've been told, over and over, is that they just want accuracy, and that they can achieve it by teaching a wrist snap, shorter step, etc. There is a former OU pitcher who coaches here and she's fantastic with the kids in general, but she REALLY pushes snapping that wrist and getting that puppet hand up and saying hello to it. There are some really good pitchers around here but it seems like pulling teeth to get them to share who their coach is, or they're just coaching their own kid. I don't know.
